a general rule, the most important spot to put a shade tree is south to west of the home. This will provide shade during the hottest part of the day.

Select a tree that will fit the size and type of home you have. The small and medium sized trees tend to be more in scale with single story homes. Whereas large shade trees look better with large 2 story homes.

TreeGivers trees are always planted on public lands. The trees are planted as part of reforestation and conservation programs in each of the 50 States and all Canadian Provinces. The trees are planted in areas where they are needed most, as determined by the planters.

Generally, when a young tree is planted, dead, broken, and split branches should be removed. Once the tree is established (up to one year or more after planting) a central trunk or leader or well-spaced multiple trunks or leaders should be developed by removing competing leaders and heading or thinning vigorously growing branches that compete with the selected leader(s). Branches should be retained on the lower trunk to increase taper.

Each year the Maintenance Services Department budgets for a limited number of tree plantings, either as replacements for dead or dying trees, or as additions to the urban forest. The type of trees existing in your neighborhood will determine the species of trees planted. To request a tree, call (714) 990-7691.

We normally expect some losses (maybe 5%). These will always be replaced the following winter. This is another reason why individual trees are not marked. Although it is guaranteed that a dead tree will be replaced it could be distressing should a visitor identify ‘their’ tree as having died.

Why not spend the rest of your day sampling some of the many attractions and sites to visit within the National Forest?

Telephone us at (626) 858-7294. The staff member answering the telephone will take the information and prepare a work order. The Supervisor will conduct a field inspection and after the inspection, will contact you with his recommendations. The City has an official list of approved trees that can be planted in the public right-of-way. If a tree can be planted, the Supervisor will ask you what type of tree you want from the approved list.

City planting policies require the planting of medium large tree species. Generally, each block will have the same species to maintain the character of the street. Only tree types designated for a particular block will be planted.

No, the property owner cannot choose what type of tree the city plants. Only tree types designated for a particular block will be planted.

Trees for the Holy Land trees are planted by Keren Kayemeth L'Israel (the government forest agency in Israel) on public land in the State of Israel. The current reforestation efforts are in three places: the mountainous slopes in the Galilee, in the Negev desert, and in urban areas for beautification and recreational parks. We cannot direct a specific location for the planting of individual trees. Your tree will be planted where the need for it is greatest.

A young Sorbus collected from China was planted next to the site of the beech tree. Kew plants approximately 100 trees per year. In 2003, some of the beech that was felled was used to make plinths for the Emily Young statues on display for the Go Wild Festival. The rest was recycled via the compost heap.

No, unfortunately with the thousands of trees planted, the trees can only be planted on public land for the enjoyment of everyone (including our animal friends).

Shade trees come in many sizes and shapes. Some are evergreen, others lose their leaves in the fall. Some small (20-30') evergreen trees are: Loquat, Hollies, and Cherry Laurel. Small deciduous trees include Redbud, Flowering Dogwood, Crape Myrtle, and Chinese Elm. Large (40-60') evergreen trees are: Eastern Red Cedar, Southern Magnolia, Loblolly Pine, Laurel & Live Oak and Camphor Tree.

Because of limited resources we have to prioritise certain types of work. Safety always takes priority and because of this at the present we are not able to prune trees just because of light loss. The exception is that if the tree is less than 6m from a habitable window, or less than half the trees height if the tree is under 12m high, we will consider pruning. There is no guarantee though - each case is taken on its merits.

A term given to most part-time captains who offer their limited experience as a delivery captain in order to take a paid boat ride for a little adventure. Shade tree captains will offer little or no commitment to you as a boat owner. They are rarely available if weather or circumstances postpone a departure. They seldom offer a contract, have the necessary charts or redundant equipment for the voyage, nor do they fully understand the changing tides and currents in all the traveled areas.

fertilizer three times a year. Sage will grow well in poor soil. It is a very low maintenance and salt tolerant plant. If you see new growth coming, your tree is not dead. Prune it back until you see the "green of the branch." Make sure you fertilize your tree. It is possible it suffered some cold damage or, if you moved the plant, it could be in shock. It may also need to be repotted.

The City plants trees on boulevards by zone. Each year, if funding is available, the most-needed zone for planting is determined by the Urban Forestry Tree Board. Citizens may plant a tree on their boulevard (purchased by themselves) by obtaining a Tree Planting Permit at no charge. Call 715-395-7270 for information on how to obtain a permit.

There are two ways to have a tree planted in front of your property. The first option for planting trees is to contact your local community board, which submits a list of tree requests twice a year to Parks. Please note that a request form signed by the property owner is necessary in order to receive a tree. These trees are planted on a first-come, first-serve basis.

You should either e-mail the City Arborist, call 781-7220 or use our on-line Customer Service Request program. For trees to be planted alongside a city street, check out the Master Street Tree List. (Acrobat Reader required to view.)

Water the newly planted tree 5-8 gallons every 2-3 days for the first 6 months. Remove any staking system after one year except when approaching a monsoon before the trimming season. Pruning should be completed by a professional only.

All of the trees around the Survivor Tree are fruit or flower-bearing trees that represent the fruits bore by the efforts of the rescue workers. The trees immediately surrounding the Survivor Tree are the Oklahoma Redbud and represent the first responders to the scene. The remaining trees are Chinese Pistache and Amur Maple that represent the nationwide effort.

All debris generated within the City by a contractor (tree surgeon, landscaper or other) must be removed and disposed of by the contractor - City Ordinance 6391-99, Sec. 32.282 (1). Back to Top

Yes. Any tree located on private, residential property may be cut down without the City's approval. However, if you pay someone to cut the tree down for you, they must be licensed with the City and they are responsible for the disposal of the tree.

Ficus, Eucalyptus, Shoestring Acacia & Mesquites all make great shade trees in Arizona. If considering a tree for its durability the mesquite would be best. However, Acacias & Mesquites lose the most foliage. Ficus require the least clean up & are an Arizona favorite. Keep in mind ficus trees tend to attract lots of birds.

Unless it is a City tree, which are trees located between the sidewalk and the street, the City cannot remove or maintain trees. That is the responsibility of the homeowner.
